Another day, another impeachable offense.
Dunning, meet Kruger. Dunning and Kruger, meet Dementia.
Truth is, shameless hypocrisy is something of a MAGA superpower.
2 or 3 hundred thousand or so marching on DC and the White House could, I imagine, effect a citizens eviction. Iβd get behind deportation, too.
Evergreen:
Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker need to set up state and municipal law enforcement teams to shadow ICE, NG, and any other deployed federal agents. Observe and immediately cite or even arrest for any infractions no matter how slight.

Putting any part of this idiocy at the Lincoln Memorial is a desecration.
This is bonkers. If there were issues w S Koreans who had overstayed visas or were otherwise not authorized to work, I can think of several ways to handle this that doesnβt cause a diplomatic uproar. But knowing the felonβs predilections, this was probably deliberate.
Peter Doocyβs verbal communication skills are impressive given his lack of a chin.
The problem is that Heller and Bruen decisions have made meaningful gun control legislation impossible. Even the things that do some good at the margins- red flag laws, magazine limits, etc. - are at risk from the current SCOTUS. And now that the Bubba Militia is *backing* authoritarianism, f*** it.
I believe most physicians would tell you that RFKJr testifying is contraindicated for those with Covid.
Roosevelt would not pass muster with todayβs left.
Bobby Nunez is my role model right now.
The 2nd Amendment, it turns out, costs us far, far more than itβs worth. #Repeal2A
Who gave the order to fire? Who executed the order? Who set the RoE that allowed this? Who failed to question it?
I donβt trust the veracity of the Venezuelan govt, but are we really going to the Havana Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin, Yellowcake playbook again?
Doubtful.
You may not be a JAG but youβre right.
Itβs been 40+ yrs since I took international Law but I recall this sort of thing being a crime. The deadly attack, not the (alleged) drug smuggling. Wtf idiot is setting the seemingly illegal rules of engagement?
The word βallegedβ is doing a lot of work to cover up a criminal act on the part of the attacking vessel.
To us laypeople, who will make up the bulk of AI users/victims, your perspective is informative but doesnβt alleviate my/our low confidence in the technology as it stands. Perhaps it wasnβt meant to.
Collectively delusional CEO (and VCs, for that matter) are featured prominently across decades of American business history. They arenβt rare.
The stupidest thing is that thereβs no need to sacrifice a win. Voters lose respect for wishy-washy fence-sitters. But voters have respect for strength of convictions when those convictions are voiced plainly and *unequivocally*. Equal protection and equal rights under law *are not* negotiable.
Iβd actually love to see that level of snarky pushback.
A useful AI should be able to 1) answer a 9 yr old level question correctly; and 2) be able to discern a βchildishβ response from a correct one. Or, should it answer some prompts with, βFigure it out yerself, idiot,β disregarding prompts if todayβs childish exchanges degrade future responses?
That seems problematic. Iβd prefer an AI I rely on to not be the functional equivalent of a 9 yr old.
#Repeal2A SCOTUS will just find any meaningful legislation unconstitutional if we donβt get rid of that useless, deadly amendment.
Without an impeachable offense *that we know of.*
Dumb ass really thinks he can single-handily oversee a command economy. As long as itβs his commands. Of course itβll be the America-hating radical leftβs fault that it ends in catastrophic failure.
βThe Second Comingβ never fails to send tingles up my back.
Will Ensign take the contempt charge or will he do the right thing and throw Homan/Noem/Temu Goebbels under the bus?
Iβm old enough to remember when the US public health infrastructure was the envy of the world. But then so is everyone over ~7 months old.
Donβt ask why, just follow Elieβs lead and you canβt go wrong.
More like inciting common sense.
Same with skiing here in Colorado. Used to be something that middle-class families could do.
Not standing up for those trying desperately to attain or hold on to equal rights is unacceptable. This isnβt difficult. You simply state, in plain and unequivocal words, that equal rights & protections for all persons are non-negotiable and refuse to engage or respect any other take on the matter.
I think itβs in part because itβs been shocking how many individuals and institutions have complied in advance or under just the tiniest bit of pressure.
Are you kept greater than armβs length from Gutfeld? Asking because heβs among the more punchable twadwaffles Iβve ever seen. Just insufferable. I donβt know how you keep so cool, calm, and collected.
I hope heβll task the CPD with strict enforcement, arresting, jailing, and charging any violators.
My wife is one of those guys. Sheβs a 5th gen carpenter who has spent decades designing and building and un-building theater sets. Iβve learned so much as her apprentice guy that Iβm just about one of those guys, too. Thereβs very little in terms of repairs and maintenance we (mostly she) canβt do.
If thereβs a process for messaging strategists similar to disbarment for lawyers or license revocation for doctors, it should be done. To pretty much all of them.
Congratulations! Thatβs some pretty good company to be in.
Fake injury, Iβd bet. Probably just couldnβt handle the physicality.
Hey, thatβs part of my weekend, too! Only Iβm not costing the US Treasury millions of $$$.
I think fascist asshats like JD need to show that gratitude rather than do everything they can to destroy it.
#Repeal2A Until thatβs done, SCOTUS will not allow any truly meaningful and effective gun control legislation for the foreseeable future.
The 2nd amendment serves no good purpose in this day & age. With Heller & Bruen, SCOTUS has made truly effective gun control legislation impossible. Itβs time to start the process of amending the Constitution to #Repeal2A. Even if it takes a decade or two or three to do, letβs start now. #Repeal2A
Comedy requires a much higher baseline intellect than, say, chronic anger.
Eisenhower was the last GOPer at the POTUS level who was not like this. It started in β64 & β65 w the passage of the CRA & VRA. At that time, the worst racists in politics were southern Dems. They started migrating to the GOP in the Nixon years and have been at home there ever since.
Shrooms in nature is the best way to shroom.
In lieu of firing or resignation, letβs give him a direct and lengthy exposure to avian flu. By his own words, itβd be like doing him a favor, right?
Do you always drop turds in the punch bowl at other peopleβs parties (for no apparent reason other than, perhaps, your own selfish amusement) or are you just being Mr. Whoaskedyou McPoopybritches because youβre having a particularly bad day today? Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
I fervently hope it doesnβt but it may eventually come down to choosing between the 5.56 and the 7.62 solutions. I neither own nor want to own anything related to those numbers. But I swing btwn optimism and despair for the near-term future and this morning is a despair morning.
Every day that they undermine our strengths as a nation is another day that the economy becomes a little less resilient to external shocks that can come at any time from any number of sources. Something that may have been a bump in the road two years ago might just collapse the whole thing tomorrow.
The freedom to deny freedom to those that give them the icks.
Ah, the βdeath panelsβ the MAGA fools were going on about when ObamaCare was making its way through Congress. Every negative accusation by the right is a confession of desire and intent.
#Repeal2A
So if the cops kill them, rather than the machine goading them to suicide, does that let Open AI off the hook? Is this just a liability dodge with no real concern for the outcome?
When once-sensible people start sliding towards MAGA, I think itβs a first sign of the onset of dementia.
The majority of Americans were once virulently racist, casually anti-Semitic, and violently homophobic. Canβt believe how much better off weβd be if weβd just caved in to those base beliefs rather than call them out and refuse to countenance them. /s
I *know* many supporters of the felon because we share a similar background. But I canβt say Iβm friends with them any longer. I hope theyβll wake up one day. But I think that many of them have suffered some form of literal brain damage. Something is observably deficient in their cognition.
Ukraine targets oil refineries, pipelines, ammunition and supply depots, freight infrastructure, and Russian military units. Russia expends the bulk of its aerial munitions on targeting civilians. That should make it easy to see who the good guy is and who the bad guy is.
#Repeal2A
Yeah, I'm gonna pass on "medical advice" from the guy with brain damage so obvious you can spot it as he walks through an airport terminal.
If the Supreme Court is going to find pretty much all effective gun control legislation to be unconstitutional, can we please just get the ball rolling on repealing the goddamned second amendment already? #Repeal2A
Or just #repeal2A.
I was going to suggest βbeaten with a stickβ but βfiredβ works, too.
If the next Democratic/democratic administration - if one can be elected given the felonβs extra-constitutional acts - doesnβt give ICE the DOGE treatment within the first few days, we elected the wrong Democrat.
Hey, DC area friends, this seems within easy range of a paintball gun or even a slingshot, if you catch my drift.
Their messaging consultants told them it might offend voters who are never, ever, no how, no way going to vote for a Democrat?
Heller and Bruen: a national suicide pact.
Same. Itβs a good club to be in. π₯°
Iβm thinking that on Sane Earth these are people we would want to have sticking around.
If that felonious motherfuckerβs going to violate the Constitution almost daily, itβd be nice if he ignored Heller and Bruen and meaningfully clamped down on guns while heβs at it. Bolt action rifles, breech-loaded shotguns, and six-shooters. Thatβs all anyone can have. One each, max.
And it costs nothing to give.

I have parents and grandparents at Arlington. No way does she get to share that space with them. At this point in my life, I can make it my mission to see that she doesnβt.

The first favor my chronic depression has ever done for me is to make me eligible for the Covid booster.
And yet the vast majority of his base would vote for him again over a Marxist communist socialist gay trans fascist pro-shariah but also pro-crime atheist Democrat.
I heard that on the radio tonight driving home from work and I wanted to cry and scream and punch a Republican all at the same time. Iβm tearing up and getting angry again just thinking about it.
Problem is that state govt doesnβt collect payroll or income taxes. They are paid directly to the federal govt by businesses and individuals. If you or I or a company does not make the scheduled payments to the feds, itβs not like the state govt can keep us out of trouble w the IRS
Are there no corporate executive patriots in America? Do they all bow down before Milton Friedman and put profits ahead of country?
Um, is there anything in Amtrackβs operating contract that allows this? Absent a genuine emergency situation? Or is DoT just going to eliminate/fully privatize Amtrack because, I dunno, teh soshulizum?
But only to the Catholic schools. Letβs see how that works out in public opinion.
I miss Molly. Sheβd meet this moment better than many of us.
Tbf, most of the other strains have had their moments. They just didnβt have mass media and nukes at their disposal.
No Democratic support in the House or the Senate, please. None. Not one vote.
Ernst RΓΆhm haircuts requiring weekly maintenance. No thanks.
Go for it. Donβt use your dominant hand, tho, youβll need it for the drywall patching.
Of course we all knew this was never a good-faith argument by the 2A absolutists.
Canβt write sternly-worded letters in handcuffs.
Scale is also a factor.
Whoβs going to tell Texas and Florida? Oh, riiiightβ¦
Mainstream news media are taking the plausible deniability option - and sometimes even the implausible deniability option - every time.
Street crime in highly-controlled police states is very low. Is that where people really want to go? Effective social programs (and we know which ones are effective, some among us just donβt want to fund them) would be much less expensive and have the added benefit of not destroying democracy.
Is today Opposite Day?
